Title
English: Brick building, probably the Ballard Exchange office for the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company at 6310 14 Ave. N.W., between 1910 and 1912.
Description

This building, originally housing the Sunset exchange (back when phone numbers were prefixed with the name of the exchange), was built in the latter half of 1909 as part of an expansion program which saw new exchanges built in Georgetown and Beacon Hill. P.T. & T.'s in-house architect Edwin V. Cobry was responsible for the designs. To meet the needs of a population boom in the early 1940s, this building was replaced by the current exchange, now owned by Qwest Communications, in 1942.
